Switches

[Doogle]

Ok this sounds bad but I have a sort of switch 'fettish' a childish spaceshippy idea that if I ever built a kit car I would have everything on dash switches and lots of the ones with the 'doomsday' covers, the big red cover that looks dangerous and you see in lots of films for firing guns and manly things like that Looking 'cool' by flicking them all on to fire it up (told you it was childish)

What are the IVA rules on these types of switch, are they ok being that they have a cover? Im probably going to use the sierra column with all the controls for ease at the moment but would like a starter button and flick switch at least, maybe having a 'kill switch' or similar?

Had a similar set up in a land rover, I had a series 3 with discovery TDi engine, being petrol converted to diesel my ignition had no live feed required for the diesel pump, so I wired the pump up to a separate live feed with doomesday switch on the dash, lift cover and flick it on to fire her up (would just crank if the switch was off) and hence, flicking the cover down killed the engine when I was stopped. Childish but nicer than just turning a key in my mind, thats what my daily hack does..

So any ideas would be great,
Thanks.
